Owner: John Demco
Architect: Byron
Barnes
Completion: May 2001
Unpredictable soil conditions at the site of this new high-end office
building required flexibility and ingenuity on the part of Charter
crews during construction.
Soft ground discovered once mass excavation started proved unable
to support the Seward Park Professional Building structure as originally
designed. Charter switched gears quickly, coordinating a new foundation
design while moving ahead with construction in order to keep to an
unbending schedule. Charter was also challenged to be responsible
for all aspect of coordination, as no architect was retained for
the construction portion of the job.
The three-story, wood-framed building above a concrete parking garage
was delivered ahead of schedule to a happy owner.
